Welcome to Dollar Academy — a school with a proud history, a purposeful energy, and a bold outlook.

For over 200 years, Dollar has helped young people push boundaries, exceed expectations, and shape their own futures. We do that by keeping things simple but powerful: Work Hard. Get Involved. Be Kind. These values are not just words on a wall — they shape our culture and guide everything we do.

We believe that young people achieve most when they feel happy, confident, and comfortable in their own skin. That is why wellbeing is not an add-on here — it is built into the fabric of school life. We work hard to create an environment where pupils feel known, supported and encouraged to be themselves — and it shows in their ambition, creativity and resilience.

Our pupils consistently achieve outstanding academic results and go on to some of the best universities in the UK and beyond. Nonetheless, we are not driven by league tables — we are driven by the belief that education should open doors, broaden horizons, and build character. That is why we offer one of the most extensive co-curricular programmes in the country, with over 120 clubs and activities designed to stretch, inspire and excite.

Our campus is one of Scotland’s most beautiful — a place of space, light and possibility, nestled at the foot of the Ochil Hills. This said, we are far from remote, being well connected — less than an hour from Edinburgh and Glasgow — and firmly outward-looking.

Dollar is not a school where pupils coast. It is a place where they step up, try new things, and discover what they are really capable of. If that sounds like the kind of environment where your child would thrive, please get in touch – we would love to welcome them.
